Asbestos is an incredibly hazardous substance that causes serious ill-health to anyone who disturbs it. For this reason, anyone who is likely to disturb asbestos in their work must have an awareness of the correct health and safety procedures to follow.
Asbestos Awareness (Category A) training helps workers to understand the risks associated with the material so that they can avoid work that may disturb asbestos.
This IATP accredited Asbestos Awareness course provides a comprehensive introduction to the dangers of working with asbestos and helps employers to comply with the law by ensuring that their workers are appropriately trained in order to work safely.
Note that any workers who plan to carry out work which will knowingly disturb asbestos require a higher level of training, (Category B or C) which is not supplied by this course. This course does not allow you to work with asbestos containing materials.
• Complies with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Ensures compliance with UK Health and Safety legislation
• Developed by health and safety professionals
• Accredited by CPD & IATP, approved by RoSPA
• Fully online course and assessment with no time limits
• On completion, certificate is posted the next working day

What type of information, instruction and training is necessary?
Workers and supervisors must be able to recognise asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and know what to do if they come across them in order to protect themselves and others.
There are three main levels of information, instruction and training. These relate to:
• Asbestos awareness
• Non-licensable work with asbestos including NNLW
• Licensable work with asbestos.
Attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing and consolidating skills learnt during training, on-the-job learning, instruction and assessment.
It is important that the level of information, instruction and training is appropriate for the work and the roles undertaken by each worker (and supervisor). Using a training needs analysis (TNA) will help to identify what topics should be covered to ensure workers have the right level of competence to avoid putting themselves or others at risk.
Asbestos awareness
Information, instruction and training for asbestos awareness is intended to give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos during any normal work which could disturb the fabric of a building, or other item which might contain asbestos. It will not prepare workers, or self-employed contractors, to carry out work with asbestos-containing materials. If a worker is planning to carry out work that will disturb ACMs, further information, instruction and training will be needed.
Information, instruction and training about asbestos awareness will cover all of the following:
• the properties of asbestos and its effects on health, including the increased risk of developing lung cancer for asbestos workers who smoke
• the types, uses and likely occurrence of asbestos and asbestos materials in buildings and plant
• the general procedures to deal with an emergency, eg an uncontrolled release of asbestos dust into the workplace
• how to avoid the risk of exposure to asbestos
Online learning (often referred to as e–learning) is increasingly used as a method of providing asbestos awareness training. HSE recognises the use of e-learning as a viable delivery method, among others, for asbestos awareness training, provided it satisfies the requirements of Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the supporting Approved Code of Practice L143 ‘Managing and working with asbestos’.
Workers who plan to carry out work that will disturb asbestos require a higher level of information, instruction and training, in addition to asbestos awareness. This should take account of whether the work is non-licensed; notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW); or licensed work and should be job specific.

Who should attend?
Anyone wanting to get the first insight into Health & Safety in the workplace this course is an introduction for staff at any level

What we I learn

At the end of the course you should have an understanding of:
why health and safety is important to everyone;
why health and safety is important within an organisation;
how following health and safety procedures is applicable to everyone;
the existence of the HSWA;
common hazards in the workplace;
general health and safety best practice and control measures;
where to find further information within your organisation; and
the importance of personal behaviour (vigilance, compliance, using safety measures, appropriate training, reporting issues).

Integral to that is the practising and testing of all the elements of emergency plans. This tout lines what we mean by exercising, describes different types of exercise, and outlines the exercising which takes place at all levels of government. It also provides some specific examples of recent exercises.
Training staff who are involved in emergency planning and response is fundamental to an organisation’s ability to handle any type of emergency. This training also outlines the aims of training in this context, describes different types of training, and points out the emphasis placed on training which is designed to equip people with the knowledge, skills and awareness necessary for their role in crisis management at the national strategic level.
Emergency planning exercises
An exercise is a simulation of an emergency situation.
Exercises have 3 main purposes:
to validate plans (validation)
to develop staff competencies and give them practice in carrying out their roles in the plans (training)
to test well-established procedures (testing)
Why it is important to hold exercises
Planning for emergencies cannot be considered reliable until it is exercised and has proved to be workable, especially since false confidence may be placed in the integrity of a written plan.
Generally, participants in exercises should have an awareness of their roles and be reasonably comfortable with them, before they are subject to the stresses of an exercise. Exercising is not to catch people out. It tests procedures, not people. If staff are under-prepared, they may blame the plan, when they should blame their lack of preparation and training. An important aim of an exercise should be to make people feel more comfortable in their roles and to build morale.
Types of exercises
There are 3 main types of exercise:
discussion-based
table top
live
A fourth category combines elements of the other 3.
The choice of which one to adopt depends on what the purpose of the exercise is. It is also a question of lead-in time and available resources.

Discussion-based exercises
Discussion-based exercises are cheapest to run and easiest to prepare. They can be used at the policy formulation stage as a ‘talk-through’ of how to finalise the plan. More often, they are based on a completed plan and are used to develop awareness about the plan through discussion. In this respect, they are often used for training purposes.
Table top exercises
Table top exercises are based on simulation, not necessarily literally around a table top. Usually, they involve a realistic scenario and a time line, which may be real time or may speed time up.
Usually table tops are run in a single room, or in a series of linked rooms which simulate the divisions between responders who need to communicate and be co-ordinated. The players are expected to know the plan and they are invited to test how the plan works as the scenario unfolds.
This type of exercise is particularly useful for validation purposes, particularly for exploring weaknesses in procedures. Table-top exercises are relatively cheap to run, except in the use of staff time. They demand careful preparation.
Live exercises
Live exercises are a live rehearsal for implementing a plan. Such exercises are particularly useful for testing logistics, communications and physical capabilities.
They also make excellent training events from the point of view of experiential learning, helping participants develop confidence in their skills and providing experience of what it would be like to use the plan’s procedures in a real event. Where the latter purposes are, in fact, the main objective of the exercise, then it is essentially a training exercise or practice drill.
Live exercises are expensive to set up on the day and demand the most extensive preparation.
.
This means that relevant planning documents must contain a statement about the nature of the training and exercising to be provided and its frequency.

Heavy Goods Vehicle ploughs into queue of people at bus stop, number of fatalities reported, driver found to be over the drink drive limit.

Warehouse operative drives forklift truck into racking causing it to collapse killing another operative.
Investigations reveal forklift driver under the influence of drugs.

Office worker attacks fellow workers tow on critical list one dies at scene. Attacker found to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

These are of course fictitious headlines but it is not beyond the realms of possibility over the next few months that Company Directors and Health & Safety managers will find themselves facing Corporate Manslaughter charges resulting in, not just an hefty fine, but imprisonment for those deemed responsible.

Remember Ignorance of these issues is no defence against charges of this magnitude.

Can Companies be sure that when the drivers leave their depots early in the morning they are not still under the influence of Alcohol or Drugs from the night before, or that their employees operating machinery or working in the offices have not taken something during their dinner breaks or tea breaks.

They can never be 100% sure, but they can put procedures and testing in place which will ensure that as a company they are doing all that is reasonably practicable to ensure they are meeting their responsibilities.

Gavin Cousins Managing Director of “Galvyn” Training & Consultancy Ltd is concerned at the growing number of employers that appear not to be aware of their responsibilities under the Health & Safety at Work Act and their “Duty of Care” to their employees.
He believes Companies should be using specialist services such as his company provides to carry put random testing for these problems. This would provide a safer working environment for employees and go a long way to ensuring compliance under their “Duty of Care”

If you believe you have problems of this nature and would like help and advice on how to deal with them, then call Gavin or Lynn in total confidence on one of the following numbers 01909 518040 / 0796 867 8670 or drop them a line to;

The course consists of both ‘classroom’ based learning, involving presentations and question and answer sessions with one of our SARI (SEMA Approved Racking Inspectors), and hands on instruction where our racking expert tours your warehouse house to examine your racking and highlight real issues to watch out for that are specific to your business.
Racking Safety Awareness Course agenda
The course is divided into three sections – initial presentations and explanation of non-technical theory, the hands on tour of your warehouse whereby a SEMA racking inspection will take place, and a follow up discussion. The topics covered teach your staff to appreciate everything they need to ensure the safety and longevity of your racking system, including:
• Identifying key components of the system
• Recognising damage
• How to report damage
• The importance of signage
• How to prevent damage from occurring
The course only takes half a working day, so if you want to offer safety awareness training to a large group of individuals, you can easily fit two sessions into one day.
What’s so important about racking safety awareness?
Pallet racking deals with heavy duty storage requirements on a daily basis, and even with our market-leading systems made from top UK manufacturing processes, problems – while not necessarily common – can occur. This can be due to operator error, poor house-keeping, overloading or lack of maintenance, among other reasons.
Damage to pallet racking can lead to major problems like accidents, costly stock losses and even injuries and fatalities, which is why it’s crucial that everyone who works with your pallet racking systems understands the safe working practices they should be aiming for. Our courses are suitable for everyone, from logistics mangers and health and safety officers to forklift truck drivers and packers.

Contractor Safety Management (CSM) Results and Path Forward After completing this course, participants should compile a list of action items based on their learning to apply back on the job. This starts with writing new or upgrading existing CSM procedures. To build competency at the individual level, the participant should identify a coach, apply the updated procedure to select projects or contractors, evaluate the application, and get assessed on the competency requirements for applying II. It is recommended that participants go through an e-learning refresher course once a year and instructor-led refresher training once every three years. Based on our experience, we recommend that companies do the following on an organizational level:

HS01 – Asbestos Awareness [basic]

Asbestos is an incredibly hazardous substance that causes serious ill-health to anyone who disturbs it. For this reason, anyone who is likely to disturb asbestos in their work must have an awareness of the correct health and safety procedures to follow.
Asbestos Awareness (Category A) training helps workers to understand the risks associated with the material so that they can avoid work that may disturb asbestos.
This IATP accredited Asbestos Awareness course provides a comprehensive introduction to the dangers of working with asbestos and helps employers to comply with the law by ensuring that their workers are appropriately trained in order to work safely.
Note that any workers who plan to carry out work which will knowingly disturb asbestos require a higher level of training, (Category B or C) which is not supplied by this course. This course does not allow you to work with asbestos containing materials.
• Complies with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Ensures compliance with UK Health and Safety legislation
• Developed by health and safety professionals
• Accredited by CPD & IATP, approved by RoSPA
• Fully online course and assessment with no time limits
• On completion, certificate is posted the next working day

HS02 – Asbestos Awareness stage 2

What type of information, instruction and training is necessary?
Workers and supervisors must be able to recognise asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and know what to do if they come across them in order to protect themselves and others.
There are three main levels of information, instruction and training. These relate to:
• Asbestos awareness
• Non-licensable work with asbestos including NNLW
• Licensable work with asbestos.
Attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing and consolidating skills learnt during training, on-the-job learning, instruction and assessment.
It is important that the level of information, instruction and training is appropriate for the work and the roles undertaken by each worker (and supervisor). Using a training needs analysis (TNA) will help to identify what topics should be covered to ensure workers have the right level of competence to avoid putting themselves or others at risk.
Asbestos awareness
Information, instruction and training for asbestos awareness is intended to give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos during any normal work which could disturb the fabric of a building, or other item which might contain asbestos. It will not prepare workers, or self-employed contractors, to carry out work with asbestos-containing materials. If a worker is planning to carry out work that will disturb ACMs, further information, instruction and training will be needed.
Information, instruction and training about asbestos awareness will cover all of the following:
• the properties of asbestos and its effects on health, including the increased risk of developing lung cancer for asbestos workers who smoke
• the types, uses and likely occurrence of asbestos and asbestos materials in buildings and plant
• the general procedures to deal with an emergency, eg an uncontrolled release of asbestos dust into the workplace
• how to avoid the risk of exposure to asbestos
Online learning (often referred to as e–learning) is increasingly used as a method of providing asbestos awareness training. HSE recognises the use of e-learning as a viable delivery method, among others, for asbestos awareness training, provided it satisfies the requirements of Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the supporting Approved Code of Practice L143 ‘Managing and working with asbestos’.
Workers who plan to carry out work that will disturb asbestos require a higher level of information, instruction and training, in addition to asbestos awareness. This should take account of whether the work is non-licensed; notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW); or licensed work and should be job specific.

HS03 – Managing Asbestos in Domestic Dwellings

why health and safety is important to everyone;
why health and safety is important within an organisation;
how following health and safety procedures is applicable to everyone;
the existence of the HSWA;
common hazards in the workplace;
general health and safety best practice and control measures;
where to find further information within your organisation; and
the importance of personal behaviour (vigilance, compliance, using safety measures, appropriate training, reporting issues).

HS13 – Emergency Duty Officer Training

Integral to that is the practising and testing of all the elements of emergency plans. This tout lines what we mean by exercising, describes different types of exercise, and outlines the exercising which takes place at all levels of government. It also provides some specific examples of recent exercises.
Training staff who are involved in emergency planning and response is fundamental to an organisation’s ability to handle any type of emergency. This training also outlines the aims of training in this context, describes different types of training, and points out the emphasis placed on training which is designed to equip people with the knowledge, skills and awareness necessary for their role in crisis management at the national strategic level.
Emergency planning exercises
An exercise is a simulation of an emergency situation.
Exercises have 3 main purposes:
to validate plans (validation)
to develop staff competencies and give them practice in carrying out their roles in the plans (training)
to test well-established procedures (testing)
Why it is important to hold exercises
Planning for emergencies cannot be considered reliable until it is exercised and has proved to be workable, especially since false confidence may be placed in the integrity of a written plan.
Generally, participants in exercises should have an awareness of their roles and be reasonably comfortable with them, before they are subject to the stresses of an exercise. Exercising is not to catch people out. It tests procedures, not people. If staff are under-prepared, they may blame the plan, when they should blame their lack of preparation and training. An important aim of an exercise should be to make people feel more comfortable in their roles and to build morale.
Types of exercises
There are 3 main types of exercise:
discussion-based
table top
live
A fourth category combines elements of the other 3.
The choice of which one to adopt depends on what the purpose of the exercise is. It is also a question of lead-in time and available resources.

Discussion-based exercises
Discussion-based exercises are cheapest to run and easiest to prepare. They can be used at the policy formulation stage as a ‘talk-through’ of how to finalise the plan. More often, they are based on a completed plan and are used to develop awareness about the plan through discussion. In this respect, they are often used for training purposes.
Table top exercises
Table top exercises are based on simulation, not necessarily literally around a table top. Usually, they involve a realistic scenario and a time line, which may be real time or may speed time up.
Usually table tops are run in a single room, or in a series of linked rooms which simulate the divisions between responders who need to communicate and be co-ordinated. The players are expected to know the plan and they are invited to test how the plan works as the scenario unfolds.
This type of exercise is particularly useful for validation purposes, particularly for exploring weaknesses in procedures. Table-top exercises are relatively cheap to run, except in the use of staff time. They demand careful preparation.
Live exercises
Live exercises are a live rehearsal for implementing a plan. Such exercises are particularly useful for testing logistics, communications and physical capabilities.
They also make excellent training events from the point of view of experiential learning, helping participants develop confidence in their skills and providing experience of what it would be like to use the plan’s procedures in a real event. Where the latter purposes are, in fact, the main objective of the exercise, then it is essentially a training exercise or practice drill.
Live exercises are expensive to set up on the day and demand the most extensive preparation.
.
This means that relevant planning documents must contain a statement about the nature of the training and exercising to be provided and its frequency.

Heavy Goods Vehicle ploughs into queue of people at bus stop, number of fatalities reported, driver found to be over the drink drive limit.

Warehouse operative drives forklift truck into racking causing it to collapse killing another operative.
Investigations reveal forklift driver under the influence of drugs.

Office worker attacks fellow workers tow on critical list one dies at scene. Attacker found to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

These are of course fictitious headlines but it is not beyond the realms of possibility over the next few months that Company Directors and Health & Safety managers will find themselves facing Corporate Manslaughter charges resulting in, not just an hefty fine, but imprisonment for those deemed responsible.

Remember Ignorance of these issues is no defence against charges of this magnitude.

Can Companies be sure that when the drivers leave their depots early in the morning they are not still under the influence of Alcohol or Drugs from the night before, or that their employees operating machinery or working in the offices have not taken something during their dinner breaks or tea breaks.

They can never be 100% sure, but they can put procedures and testing in place which will ensure that as a company they are doing all that is reasonably practicable to ensure they are meeting their responsibilities.

Gavin Cousins Managing Director of “Galvyn” Training & Consultancy Ltd is concerned at the growing number of employers that appear not to be aware of their responsibilities under the Health & Safety at Work Act and their “Duty of Care” to their employees.
He believes Companies should be using specialist services such as his company provides to carry put random testing for these problems. This would provide a safer working environment for employees and go a long way to ensuring compliance under their “Duty of Care”

If you believe you have problems of this nature and would like help and advice on how to deal with them, then call Gavin or Lynn in total confidence on one of the following numbers 01909 518040 / 0796 867 8670 or drop them a line to;

Pallet racking deals with heavy duty storage requirements on a daily basis, and even with our market-leading systems made from top UK manufacturing processes, problems – while not necessarily common – can occur. This can be due to operator error, poor house-keeping, overloading or lack of maintenance, among other reasons.
Damage to pallet racking can lead to major problems like accidents, costly stock losses and even injuries and fatalities, which is why it’s crucial that everyone who works with your pallet racking systems understands the safe working practices they should be aiming for. Our courses are suitable for everyone, from logistics mangers and health and safety officers to forklift truck drivers and packers.
